Chapter 132: The Beauty Remains

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had gone by since the birth of the Digital Life source.

The physiological age of Lin Lei’s body had also reached seventy years old, which was not considered very old compared to the new generation of Earthlings.

But do not forget that this body had been in a coma for ten years and was on the verge of death, and after Lin Lei’s Split Will took over, it had always been working in a state of overdrawing life, which made today’s Lin Lei White look unusually old.

He had a head full of white hair, and time had carved deep marks on his forehead, but at any time, Lin Lei’s figure was straight with his shoulders back, showing a vitality that did not match his physiological age, a vitality of the soul.

Anyone who saw him would forget the old age on his face and be infected by the light shining in his eyes, subsequently producing an illusion that this person would live forever.

In these twenty years, Lin Lei finally comprehended the sixth dimension of energy: Creation. Now he had already controlled four Dimensional Elements, and was already able to construct Subspace and perform short-distance Space Jumps.

It was also in these twenty years that Lin Lei was testing the Star Alliance’s sensitivity to power ful Will Bodies at all times, and he had been seeking the upper limit among them.

Until recently, did he thoroughly figure out the Star Alliance’s surveillance situation regarding Fuweili.

Every stranger who approached Fuweili would be marked by the Star Alliance and observed with priority, and this point made it impossible for Lin Lei to look for Fuweili in reality.

But do not forget the Galaxy Network; the things Lin Lei could do in the Virtual Network were much more than in reality, and Lin Lei had even quietly intruded into the internal network of Ao Star.

Of course, that experience was unusually thrilling; Lin Lei was like walking in a swamp that looked calm on the surface, not knowing where a fatal crisis was buried.

That was also the only time Lin Lei intruded into the network of the Watcher Civilization; after that, he kept a respectful distance from it.

Lin Lei knew Fuweili’s life habits like the back of his hand, so after making all the preparations for hiding, he patiently started waiting on the Galaxy Network.

Fuweili did not let Lin Lei wait long; in less than ten minutes, she appeared in this virtual space.

Fuweili, who lived a monotonous and repetitive life every day, had a faint expression on her face, looking very indifferent, as if she did not care about anything.

She should also be over ninety years old this year, and relative to the average lifespan of Apocalypse People reaching 260 years, she was in the peak period of her physiological state.

Lin Lei silently hid in the dark and observed; she had matured a lot and was full of elegant charm, but all this could not cover up the loneliness in her eyes.

At this moment, Lin Lei had to admit his coldness and heartlessness; he could have come to see her earlier, but he dragged it on until now because of Earth’s matters.

As soon as Fuweili came online, she walked towards the Universe Ecological Research Institute in the Galaxy Public Network, which contained detailed materials of known life forms covering the entire Universe.

She had been burying her head in this sea of information for more than fifty years; this was a habit she had developed since Lin Xin became an adult and insisted on staying on Earth, just to fill the void in her heart.

Today, however, she saw a slight difference; she felt a gaze watching her from her side, but when she turned her head to look around, she did not find any abnormalities.

Fuweili gently patted her forehead, thinking this was an illusion, but immediately a sentence was transmitted into her ears.

“Wei, keep walking straight ahead, go to the Academy’s personal space.”

This voice was like a murmur, whispering in her ear; Fuweili trembled all over; Wei, how many years had no one called her that? The scene where that man called her that for the last time seemed right before her eyes, but in reality, it was something that happened seventy-four years ago.

Fuweili walked towards the destination as if she were possessed; she only nodded in response to the acquaintances she met on the road who greeted her.

She vaguely felt that there was an invisible person following her; this person had a very familiar aura on his body, an aura that Fuweili would never forget in her life.

A feeling of excitement, joy, and even disbelief quickly grew in her heart, making her steps faster and faster, and recently she almost ran into the personal space where she usually stayed.

This space claimed to guarantee the absolute privacy of scholars, but Lin Lei knew dozens of backdoors to this space, but now they were all blocked by him with illusions.

“Ding!” With the closing of the space, Fuweili’s eyes stared straight at the Void in front of her; here, a person was hiding!

“Who are you?” Fuweili suppressed the excitement in her tone, trying her best to maintain a calm appearance.

A figure slowly emerged from the Void, gradually becoming solid, and finally, a person whom Fuweili thought about day and night appeared.

Lin Lei appeared here with his true face this time; although he had to take a certain risk, he could not care about it anymore; this thing called emotion, if you don’t think about it, that’s fine, but once you start, it will rush out like a flood.

Even with Lin Lei’s control power, after enduring for more than twenty years, he was close to the limit.

Fuweili’s mouth pursed, and she suddenly pounced forward and hugged Lin Lei tightly, crying loudly without any scruples.

She cried loudly enough to startle the world; it was an instant eruption of emotions accumulated over nearly a century.

Fuweili hugged Lin Lei’s body with all her strength, as if he would disappear the next moment.

“I thought you were dead! Woo woo! I thought you were dead…”

She kept repeating this sentence; back then, after Lin Lei left Earth, she thought she could meet him soon, but unexpectedly, what came was bad news!

And that fit of anger with him had become an eternal farewell!

How could she bear this! And more than seventy years later, this beloved one whom she thought had disappeared appeared alive in front of her eyes; how could she not be ecstatic.

Lin Lei did not speak, but just gently patted Fuweili’s back, silently comforting her, letting her vent to her heart’s content.

After a long time, Fuweili stopped her crying; she greedily smelled the aura on Lin Lei’s body and stayed in his arms, refusing to come out; this generous embrace was as warm as ever.

“Lei, have you seen our daughter? She has grown up and become a very beautiful and intelligent big girl.” Her voice sounded a bit hoarse because of the crying, but it still revealed an indescribable tenderness.

A kind of tenderness that a woman shows when she sees her beloved partner filled Lin Lei’s heart with warmth.

“I have seen her; she is my pride, and also the pride of Earthlings.” Lin Lei gently stroked Fuweili’s face, which was still as smooth as before, looked into her eyes, and spoke softly.

Fuweili sighed lowly, buried her head into Lin Lei’s arms again, and said, “Xin’er is just like you, incomparably persistent. Xin’er has been on Earth, working hard for Earth’s strength. No matter how I persuaded her, she refused to return to Apocalypse with me.”

Her tone did not carry blame, but revealed a sense of resentment; she was ostensibly talking about Lin Xin, but actually complaining about Lin Lei; although she knew that such complaining had no reason at all, but who stipulated that this kind of petty temper between lovers needed reason?

Lin Lei could naturally see this point; living a lonely life for so many years, with her personality, it was indeed difficult for her.

In her daily holographic images, Lin Lei could often see scenes where she curled up alone in the quilt, shivering with fear from certain imagined things; her asking Lin Xin to return to Apocalypse with her was just to have a companion.

On Earth, she, a native Apocalypse Person, could not get used to living there no matter what; her returning to Apocalypse was an inevitable result.

The two stayed in the personal space for two hours; according to Fuweili’s living habits, at this time, she should leave this personal space and go offline on time.

But today, she really did not want to do this; she was frightened, not knowing if this departure would mean another long separation.

“Rest assured, after you arrive at Apocalypse, remember to turn on your communicator; although I cannot appear yet, I can talk to you.”

“Why can’t you appear? Aren’t you a hero of the Star Alliance?” Fuweili asked with a face full of surprise.

Lin Lei sneered: “Hero? This is just a means for the Star Alliance to cover up the facts; I was just lucky enough to escape death. Wei, you must keep the secret of my return, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.”

“Lei, what did you do wrong? Star Alliance, no, why would they do this?” Fuweili had gone from surprise to disbelief.

“Don’t ask too much; it will harm you. Also, do not tell Yan Siyu; she is an Aostarian, and over there, I cannot hide my traces.”

Lin Lei’s body slowly faded with his words, and finally disappeared completely. His Will Body had already split into more than a dozen strands and quietly slipped out from here, leaving no trace for anyone to find.

Fuweili looked at all this blankly; she could not believe that the Star Alliance, which had always been high above, would do such a duplicitous thing.

But since they wanted to harm Lin Lei, Fuweili’s impression of the Star Alliance instantly dropped below freezing point.

Fuweili was also in no mood to stay in the virtual space any longer and directly exited the network in the personal space.

Once back in reality, she frantically turned on all the devices in her home that could make sound, hoping to contact Lin Lei immediately.

Lin Lei did not disappoint her; a few minutes later, Lin Lei’s voice came from the mouth of the smart butler in Fuweili’s room.

“Wei, don’t be busy, I have already come.” At the same time, a holographic image of Lin Lei appeared in the room.

Fuweili rushed to Lin Lei’s front at once and asked eagerly: “Lei, is it dangerous for you to connect here now?”

This was the question she was most concerned about; since the Star Alliance could strike once, they could strike a second time; she did not think that Lin Lei alone could deal with the Star Alliance.

“Wei, don’t worry, I have perfect preparations, no one can discover me.”

Fuweili breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to smile, but found that her heart was heavy; Lin Lei becoming an enemy of the Star Alliance meant that he could not truly appear in her life in the future.

But she figured it out immediately; the current situation was already very good; at least Lin Lei was still alive, and that was enough!
